Game Boy Extravaganza - DONE! WE RAISED OVER $2013!!!!

Many of you probably remember that I hosted community marathons the previous two summers. After talking with some friends today, we've decided to host another one!

This summer's marathon will be called the Game Boy Extravaganza, and, as you can probably guess, the theme will be games released on the Game Boy, Game Boy Color, or Game Boy Advance. All of those systems are eligible to be played in this marathon, and I hope all are represented in some form! As per usual, we'll be gaming for the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

The marathon will be held for 72 hours from May 10 through May 14. We'll have up to two different gaming streams going at all times, so there shouldn't be problems with having too many players.

A few things to take note of:

- As much as we all love Pokémon, I'm limiting the marathon to a single Pokémon game. That way we won't just have everyone playing that series. It'll be first come, first serve as for which game is played and by whom, so call it if you want it!
- For chat ops, don't feel bad if you're not chosen. I only need a certain number, but I'm open to as many volunteers to choose from as possible!
- There will again be raffle prizes for this marathon that will be given away. I'm still working to get those, but we'll for sure have some.

So, yeah, let me know that you want to commentate, moderate, and game (and which game!), and we'll get this show on the road!

I'm definitely down for moderating the chat. And I think I could throwdown maybe some Super Mario Advance 2 & 4, Link's Awakening DX, and Dragon Ball Z The Legacy of Goku. All of which are relatively short games.

For right now, I put you down for all those except Zelda. Imma see how other volunteers are before that, but don't let me forget that you volunteered for that one too.

I'd like to do Boktai (pending me getting a UV lamp before then), Shantae, Donkey Kong '94, and Dragon Warrior I. Perhaps more if I can think of any later. I'll take Oracle of Seasons if no one else does, but I'm not super familiar with that game right now, so if someone else lays claim to it, by all means.

I'm interested in participating, although I do have one question. Would it be alright for me to play a game that wasn't originally for a Game Boy system but was ported to one later? Because I'm thinking of playing the GBA version of The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past if that's alright. If not, then unless someone else wants to play a Pokemon game, I might play either Crystal or Emerald. And if I can't do either one of those games, I'll find some other game to play.

Ports are cool for this, so no worries. So would you like to play ALttP or Crystal?
